Damar Thomas is one step closer.

After securing the win and advancing to the next round at the Commonwealth Games, Damar took a moment to reflect on the road that brought him here. Every early morning, every setback, every sacrifice has led to this opportunity.

"I've got a job to do on Friday."

Focused, composed, and with his goal remains crystal clear: to become a Commonwealth Champion.

Every champion carries more than their gloves into the ring.

They carry their country.
They carry their roots.
They carry the lessons.

When the lights are brightest, they don't stand alone. They represent every lesson, every setback, every person who helped shape their journey.

Best of luck to Damar Thomas as he represents England Boxing. Wear the badge with pride.

A coach is much more than someone who holds the pads. They're a mentor, a strategist, and the person who sees what the fighter can't. They teach technique, build confidence, and provide honest feedback while knowing exactly when to push and when to pull back. It's a reminder that behind every great fighter is their coach who has helped shape them.

Monique and her coach Jeremy have built that kind of relationship over years of trust, hard work, and countless rounds together. Words aren't always needed.

There are moments when every fighter questions whether it's worth getting back up.

For Monique Suraci, hitting rock bottom has never been the end of the story, it's been the beginning of the comeback.
What keeps bringing her back isn't just determination. It's the love of boxing. The challenge. The discipline. The opportunity to test herself every single day.
Every setback becomes fuel. Every obstacle becomes another reason to fight harder.

Monique is bringing her all to Commonwealth Games 2026!
